Nicole73,

Bile backs up in your stomach because the pyloric valve between the stomach and the duodenum is weak.

The valve becomes weak after a long use of allopathic drugs, including acid blockers. The medical industry will never tell you that. It also does not help if you are consuming alcohol, smoking, and eating processed foods. Also when there is build up of bile. Sometimes surgical processes in gastrointestinal areas make the sphincter weak as well.

If bile is alkaline 8.6pH, how does that cause gastritis? Once bile is in the stomach it gets neutralized by more acid production, because that is what the stomach does, it produces acid and maintains an acidic environment in the stomach for breaking down the food.

Questions....
How do you know you have gastritis?
Did you have endoscopy done?
Have you also been checked for Hpylori infection?
What is the reason you cannot eat raw foods?

Some things may help.....

Eat small meals.
Eat good fats like avocado.
Do abdominal exercises.
If you have Hpylori, get Colloidal Silver and take that regularly till gastritis clears up.
Definitely do Liver Flushes to clear up any build up of bile and have other health benefits from it.
